Engineer Couldn't Design the SRS Sniper Rifle

The absolute most ignorant myopic phrase ever to have been uttered - If it was a good idea somebody would have already done it...

An engineer, a machinist, and a gunsmith are all very different people. But what do you expect from a youtube guntoober podcaster 😂

Lol I sold a square baler to a guy who was an engineer in a factory. He had an baler similar to mine that wasn't baling right. He couldn't fix his so he needed a different one. I asked him if it was humbling something that was designed 70 years ago on paper he couldnt fix? Yeah he didn't like that question too much.

a very nice story Mr.have agood one and happy the flag day and father weekend Mr.

If it was a good idea, someone body would have... PFFT Why did it take so long for us to have cars and airplanes? People used to think that bicycles were horseshits.

A mechanical engineer works with moving mechanisms and assemblies that typically don't hurt people, the person who you would want is a gun smith or machinist.

Part of the engineers code of ethics is to not work on a project outside of their expertise in order to promote public safety. He probably had a decent idea on how to make the rifle work, but wasnt confident enough to commit to figuring it out. edit: engineers are specialized, and a national code of ethics keeps them professionally bound to that specialization

Hell yeah! Academics and their degrees never learn to innovate, creating something new is completely foreign to them. They are so crammed into that regurgitated box of thinking. And yet they have the nerve to mock people without the degree who dare to think different.

if wheels were a good idea someone else wouldve already made them

Mechanical engineers design HVAC systems, not to say they couldn’t design a gun but definitely different scopes of work. Drive me insane how people hear engineer and then believe that it’s one size fits all. It would be like asking a dentist to preform surgery on a cancer patient.

You Need a mechanical engineer to engineer an extended magazine for the Quattro 15. Shouldn’t be too hard, and hopefully can get it done before doomsday which feels close.

Sometimes "educated people" don't have that much creativity. Howard Hughes never went to formal school. His parents educated him. At 17 he inherited Hughes Tool Company. In his lifetime he invented the ammo chute, chain gun, and mounted a 105mm howitzer in a DC-3. He also invented the first communications satellite and many aerospace inovations. If a person has a talented mind. A degree just helps them learn what others had developed before us. Unfortunately your brother in law doesn't have your level of thinking.

Explains college in a nutshell.

Thats the truth about degrees. Most engeneers are so impractical they ruin trades. Every product is worse.

I don’t know your brother but this seems like an unfair criticism. Engineers need to specialize, so if he doesn’t have this background, and doesn’t have the time/interest to learn it, “no” is the best answer. That has nothing to do with his education or being closed-minded. I’m an engineer and I get asked to design stuff all the time, and in most cases I say “no,” too.
